Pick Molecules
In cryo-ET, particle picking is a critical step for subsequent subtomogram averaging and structural analysis. Although there are many powerful automatic picking tools available to this field, manual picking is still important for many cases.
Note
If you want to automatically generate molecules along splines rather than picking one by one, see Spline to Molecules.

As for drawing splines, manually added points in the
napari viewer can be converted into molecules with this method. Regardless of how the
points were added, this method will work properly without affecting macro recording, as
long as the points are added in the drawing layer. This means that you can use any
functionalities or napari plugins to pick molecules.
Advanced manual pickers
More advanced manual picking can be achieved using plugins, such as:
